Purpose
EDUCATING BLACK MALES
OUR PERCEPTION MUST CHANGE.
If you sincerely want to make an impact in the lives of our black male students you have to approach them with an open mind, and NOT with a mindset that associates them with not having the drive to succeed or some other negative stereotypes.
By the way, positive information about black males are out there, but what is needed is that we get into the habit of sharing those positive things with our BLACK MALE STUDENTS in order to help them change the paradigm that they may have conditioned to believe.
But first, we who are in the position to educate, empower, motivate, inspire and challenge our young black males our perception of them has to be that they are capable of achieving great things.
“FOR THEM TO SHARE SOMETHING DIFFERENT OR STOP SHARING WHAT THEY HAVE MADE UP, WE HAVE TO START SHARING SOMETHING DIFFERENT.”
